What You See Is What You Get

Ask Koren

Dear Koren, Every week my girlfriend reads your article out loud, especially if she think it have a message for me, but let me tell you something miss. Many of these girls that complain of what man is doing to them, know exactly what they getting into. My girl met me with somebody and she know I’m the kind of man that like a little variety, but I don't have more than two woman at a time because I can't afford it seeing I take good care of them. Also, it is not all time man want the ton of drama. Why if they meet you a certain way, they try to change you and then get blue mad when that don't happen. Make no sense to a simple man like me but maybe a professional like you can explain it. ~Kingman

it for themselves.

Maybe you have told her you love her and in her mind, if he loves me, he won’t do something that hurts me, hence her expecting the best from you.

Think about it though, if you know what she prefers and you love her, is it that hard to try to please her sometimes?

I suggest you reconsider that variety thing. Our women in the Caribbean have enough personality and style and change their hairstyles so quickly, you will think you are dating three different women. Seriously though, playing around is outdated and monogamy is the best way to go. When you are committed and loyal to a woman, you will be the recipient of the full outpouring of her love and undivided attention. That drama that you talk about, gets stale quickly and can cause damage to you or those women, emotionally and physically. It is not worth it. Treat the woman in your life they way you would want your mother or your sister treated; with the respect and the loyalty she deserves. You will be a better man because of it.

Dear Kingman, If she reads the column every week I hope you know that she will read this and know that you sent it in right? I guess you are willing to take that risk. You are right, many women know who the man is they are getting together with and see some of his negative qualities early on, but they think he will change.

Women naively believe that they are the special one who can turn that bad boy into the nice guy who brings flowers and helps with housework. Some men do change when they fall in love but they have to want

Blue Jasmine If you haven’t seen this particular Woody Allen film, it is worth a look back just a few years in the Netflix archives. Cate Blanchett (who won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2014, for this film) plays Jasmine, a wealthy East Coast socialite, whose fortune comes through her husband, who wheels and deals in Wall Street with the ethics of Bernie Madoff. She has a sister who was adopted, as she was by the same couple, although both siblings had different parents. Jasmine was considered the “pretty one with good genes” while Ginger (Sally Hawkins) attributes her low station in life to her perceived parental rejection.

Jasmine’s husband Hal (Alec Baldwin) acquires properties like a child consumes chocolate, all under various shady companies, however, Jasmine is too busy drinking vodka martinis and entertaining, to look too closely at his business dealings or his extramarital affairs. Once the evidence comes in that Hal is cheating and wants a divorce to be with his current mistress, Jasmine has a nervous breakdown. Soon after, Hal is fingered by the FBI for his corrupt financial dealings, the government confiscates all his assets and he is sent to prison.

Destitute, Jasmine goes to San Francisco to stay with Ginger until she can get back on her feet.

Here the real drama unfolds as sisters with very different class backgrounds since leaving the nest, struggle to come together. Jasmine’s Louis Vuitton 4piece luggage set in the middle of Ginger’s storefront apartment says it all. In her “entitled” lifestyle, she has little patience for her sister’s Brooklyn boyfriend Chili and his beer-drinking buddies, or Ginger’s two

small ruckus- making sons from her first marriage.

The tension is further escalated when scenes from her former life, reveal that Ginger and her former husband had won $200,000 on a lottery ticket and were talked into having Hal invest the funds. All the money was lost in a failed venture.

Here, director Woody Allen goes into what he is known for in his films, the inner angst and anxiety of his characters, when faced with life-dilemmas, and we witness the unraveling of Jasmine. Her depression and panic attacks become more frequent, her need for Xanax and martinis make her world a numbing blur and finally her plans to take a computer class and get an online decorating degree, falter through circumstances. Her last ditch hope to marry a wealthy young diplomat she meets, to regain the status that defines her identity, is the thin straw she holds on to.

This film is a poignant yet sad look at how riches can vanish, social status can change, and identity be rudely altered, when it is anchored in things that can be taken away. You’ll have to see the film to see how life choices and attitudes define Jasmine’s final reality.

Flamingo Watching We received an invitation and had no other choice but to say, “Yes, we’ll snorkel today.” It was the perfect summer morning, the kind that you anxiously await, when the ocean has calmed itself into flatness and turned to glass, it’s perfect, “yes, we’ll snorkel today”.

Having no time to waste we take off in our 17 foot Key West, leaving Virgin Gorda behind and a barely visible Anegada in front of us. The ride is smooth and just long enough to allow me to dream of vivid blue damselfish and their tiny white spots and what was the name of that school of purple fish? My dreams are soon put aside as we weave our boat through the long line of reefs, looking for that perfect spot.

Finally we have arrived and we begin to swim. In my excitement I haven’t noticed the current and find myself battling the water. If I stop to study what is before me, my body is swept back over the reefs that I’ve carefully worked my way around. When we realize we are ending up in the same spot, not that far from our boat, we give up.

So we pack and pull anchor. The morning light is warming, surrounding us with brilliant blues, greens and whites. With no agenda we move slowly through the water, easily losing ourselves in the beauty of the Caribbean.

It begins as a mirage, a white horizontal line interrupted with sparkles of blue and the closer we get I see intervals of pink. A silence falls upon us, I want to scream, we cut the engine, we have found the pot of gold; the biggest flock of birds I have ever seen is peacefully standing in the shallows of Anegada. They stand tall, stoic, long necks holding heads turned in all directions, an island of flamingos. I am afraid, afraid that any movement or sound will put an end to this sight before me. Getting closer I hear unfamiliar Limin’ Times Entertainment Guide

chatter, they’re watching us. We drift and the closer we get the less I breathe, they’ve taken my breath away. With no warning one bird signals it is time and I can breathe again. Gracefully they rise out of the water; necks and legs extended circling us. I try to count but there are too many and they circle back again, as if to give me a chance to stop counting and admire their slender shapes and ease with which they travel in such a large group. They decide to allow me another look and take their position back in the grassy flats. I’m honored and revert back to my frozen stance; I want to take them in. The boat is floating, slowly, close to them I see they are so unlike those funny plastic flamingos and realize the beauty of a flamingo on one’s lawn. Statuesque in their elegant shades of red and their carefully painted masks, they are beautiful. We drift past and they begin to look like a pink island, a white line and eventually a memory of a perfect day.

The objective is to fill the full 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 “subgrids” that compose the main grid contains all of the digits from 1 to 9 – with no repeats within each row or column within the entire square. A partially completed grid is usually provided, which typically has a unique solution. See next weeks Limin’ Times issue for solution.
